Motorola Solutions Awarded First Digital Trunked Radio Solution in
Myanmar

NAYPYIDAW, Myanmar--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Motorola
Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI), a leading provider of innovative,
mission-critical communication solutions and services for government and
enterprise customers, was awarded a multimillion U.S. dollar contract to
provide the radio system, two-way radios and associated software
applications to support the 27th Southeast Asian Games
(Games) that took place in Naypyidaw and other main cities, during
December 11-22, 2013.

As the first digital trunked radio solution in Myanmar by its Ministry
of Home Affairs (MOHA), the system will also be expanded to other
cities, with the goal of nation-wide coverage for public safety and
major state events, including the 2014 Association of Southeast Asian
Nations (ASEAN) Chairmanship meetings and the next ASEAN Ministerial
Summit.

KEY FACTS

Motorola Solutions, together with its partners Al Noor International
(S) Pte Ltd and Secure Networks Co. Ltd, deployed the latest Motorola
ASTRO® 25 technologies at Naypyidaw where most of
the games were held.

Three repeater sites, MCC 7500 Dispatch Consoles and a wide range of
two-way radios including the award-winning APX2000 and APX2500 radios
are part of this deployment.

These products have been chosen for the superior audio quality, robust
build, and seamless operability regardless of operations mode –
features ideal to ensure successful event communications management
during the Games period and beyond.

As one of the biggest sports events in Southeast Asia, the 27th
Southeast Asian Games was held at various venues in cities throughout
Myanmar. With tens of thousands of attendees, a total of 37 sports
were hosted at various locations, involving 460 events with 1,531
medals awarded.

With multiple, noise-filled sports environments, a large geographical
coverage area, and possible radio interference from the large number
of spectators expected to use personal two-way radios for
communication, a mission-critical solution designed for extreme
environments was required.

The event organizer’s operational needs included: creating instant
communication between users and venues, delivering clear voice
transmissions under extreme conditions, and ensuring secure wireless
communication against the interference of unlicensed frequencies, all
combined to deliver key information in a timely and accurate way.
These challenges led MOHA to collaboratively work with Motorola
Solutions to design a complete communications solution that best
addressed their challenges.

With the ASTRO 25 solution, Myanmar gains a platform to meet the needs
of the Games and provide for future nationwide mission-critical,
enhanced digital communications needed by police, fire, prison and
administrative officers for command and control during major events
and incidents.
